Higher Cloughfold, a quiet elevation in Lancashire's Rossendale district, breathes the air of the Pennines. It lies 1.3 km east of Rawtenstall (from Rawtenstall: bearing 85°T, OS grid SD 824 228). The houses here, often of sturdy stone, seem to hold the muted light of a northern sky, their gardens a patchwork of hardy blooms that endure the blustery winds. The land itself, a gentle rise towards the moors, carries a sense of patient endurance, the same quality that once fueled the local textile mills now largely silent. One might imagine the distant bleating of sheep on the higher pastures, a sound that has long been the unassuming soundtrack to this upland settlement.
